Girls from across Bath have been taking part in UK Parliament Week activities this week to explore what democracy means to them and their communities.
Girls in Action
One of our local Girlguiding Bath volunteers has started the BathRocks Facebook group, encouraging local people to share their creativity. 21st Bath (Ascension) Guides got the ball rolling with their beautiful designs…
Girls from 57th Bath (Bathampton) and 51st Bath (Bathford) Guides enjoyed a Disney-themed camp at Badminton Cottages this half term, which included rope climbing, sweet making and a campfire – complete with s’mores, of course!
Bathford Brownies visited Bath Fire Station, where they got to try on a fire fighting kit, see all the equipment and even witness the speed of a real call out.
We are delighted to announce that our County Commissioner and local Bath Rainbow leader, Rosemary Kerr, has been presented with Girlguiding South West England’s Silver Oak Leaf award in recognition of her dedication to Girlguiding. Congratulations Rosemary!
Girlguiding volunteers from across Bath Division gathered at St Alphege’s Church Hall in the October sunshine to celebrate 160 years of combined service at a special thanks and recognition afternoon tea party.
The three Rainbow Units in Bath South East District held a joint meeting this week to celebrate 30 years of Rainbows. Find out what they got up to and see their photo collage commemorating the occasion.
21st Bath (Ascension) Rainbows, Brownies and Guides came together to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support at their recent coffee evening, which included their traditional ‘booby cake’ raffle prize.
9th Bath (Beechen Cliff) Brownies took part in Bath Abbey’s annual Great Bath Bake Sale this weekend. They helped to raise money for the Abbey’s Footprint Project by selling a range of yummy home-baked goods.
Congratulations to Bev Samways and Sarah Taylor, who received the South West England Compass Award this weekend. Bev and Sarah were both recognised for their outstanding contribution to local Guiding at a special celebration in Sailsbury, together with volunteers from across the South West. We are extremely proud of them both!
